Norwood Assisted Living in Merritt Island, FL

I’m thrilled with the place. It was the only place that we were smiling when we left. The food is good and they are adaptive – even incorporating family recipes into the menu when possible. The administration and staff are just great.

Victoria Landing ALF in Melbourne, FL

5.0
This is a quality place to live. I'm at a different facility now, closer to family, but not as nice as Victoria Landing. The waterfront view was what sold me at the time but I grew to love the activities and the food. The care my husband received was above and beyond during his final days.
